Thomas T. Goforth Paleomagnetism and Paleobotany Laboratory |
The paleomagnetism and paleobotany lab includes instruments for studying and curating fossil leaves and for conducting rock magnetism, paleomagnetism, and environmental magnetism studies.
If you are interesting in visiting the lab to analyze paleomagnetism, rock or environmental magnetism samples or you are interesting in sending samples to be analyzed, please contact Daniel Peppe to schedule a visit or to discuss fee for service options.
